The same thing happened for me with ethereum. I began to partially sell it as the price rose, believing that it would fall after a while and was guided by the bitcoin price. However, this did not happen. Surely many did the same, because it was logical. But the cryptocurrency market is too unpredictable. Therefore, it is very difficult to sell high and buy cheap on it. I think that we all very often lose lost profits. The main thing is not to suffer direct losses.

I have not yet heard the famous Bulgarian fortune teller Vanga prophesy anything about cryptocurrency. In addition, this quoted text may not come from Vanga herself. However, it is still pleasant to read it. Let's assume that the predictions refer to bitcoin and that by October its price will reach one hundred thousand dollars. There is not too long to wait.

Ripple will not disappear from the cryptocurrency market anyway. The lawsuit filed by the SEC on December 22 does not address the illegality of issuing or circulating this coin. Therefore, nothing threatens her. The indictment concerns the abuse of the company's executives and after the payment of the penalties, ripple must gradually regain its position. We see that the ripple has now fallen in price, but its decline has stopped and its price is even growing. if the market goes up.

Of course, non-cash payments make our life easier and more convenient. However, we become attached to certain technical means that can be easily lost or stolen from us. In addition, non-cash money is often attacked by hackers or various scammers.
At the same time, cash is very easy to use, it is convenient to make small household transactions in cash. Also, cash, unlike non-cash, is very difficult to track.
I don’t think we’ll get rid of cash anytime soon, if ever.

There has been a strong imbalance between supply and demand for food this year due to tough restrictive measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, food producers could not sell their goods and it simply deteriorated, and the population did not have the opportunity to buy it, since the markets and trade network did not work.
However, there is also a more global problem with food. The population of our planet is growing, but the amount of fertile land is not increasing. Moreover, its area is decreasing due to human activities and environmental degradation. Therefore, the problem with food, and in the future with drinking water, will only grow.

This will never happen. No state will ever accept Bitcoin as its official currency. Cash or non-cash money of the state plays the role of a substitute for material assets that may be in civil circulation. Based on this, the development of the economy of each state is planned. Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrency is in no way connected with the economy of any state, and therefore cannot be their currency.
In addition, bitcoin is characterized by increased price volatility and this will make it very difficult to use it as a means of payment.

I notice from time to time that ethereum often grows in price as a percentage even better than bitcoin. This indicates that this coin has good potential for price growth, primarily due to its ongoing renewal since December. Ethereum has broken its previous price record today, and there will be many more such records this year. Hopefully this year we'll see a few thousand dollars more.

Most likely, her words that it is necessary to "cut" bitcoin and should be perceived so that she is afraid of the weakening of the dollar and at the same time strengthening the position of the cryptocurrency, and first of all bitcoin. If she uses the word "cut" bitcoin, it means that she is very far from the nature of a decentralized cryptocurrency. I would like to see how she will reduce bitcoin. This is absolutely unrealistic.
One of the reasons for the current rise in prices in the cryptocurrency market is that people are saving themselves from inflation of common currencies of states by investing in cryptocurrency.

Regulation of cryptocurrency by states, including DeFi platforms, is inevitable and this is not a disaster for it. Some regulation is needed to avoid massive fraud. The only question is what and how will be regulated. If the regulation is organizational and within reasonable limits, then this can only be welcomed. The main thing is that such regulation does not violate the decentralized foundations of the cryptocurrency. In my opinion, there is no reason for such fears yet. And the regulators are hardly able to do this.

It seems to me that this does not work in all cases. Now in the cryptocurrency market, the dominance of bitcoin is falling or rising by only a few percent. However, altcoins always follow Bitcoin's price movements. Only fairly promising altcoins can show growth even if the price of bitcoin falls. However, this is rare. However, in general, I agree that with a strong drop in Bitcoin dominance, altcoins begin to rise well in value.

It should be borne in mind that absolutely in all states there is a drop in the level of the economy due to long-term and unprecedented measures to combat the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, inflation will rise. People will flee from it, invest in cryptocurrency. So overall, I think this year will be a very good year for cryptocurrency. Of course, this market is very unpredictable. With active growth, there will also be sharp price swings. This year should be very successful for traders.

The Russian ruble falls naturally. The Putin regime is actually pursuing a hostile aggressive policy towards its neighbors and on the world stage, and to cover up these actions, they have invented hybrid wars and private armies, which are actually led from the Kremlin. An anti-popular domestic policy is also being pursued, in which political competitors are physically eliminated, peaceful demonstrations are prohibited and all those who disagree are imprisoned. We can see this even on the example of the law on digital assets adopted in Russia. In which state, with the regulation of cryptocurrency, it is possible to store cryptocurrency, but in fact it cannot be disposed of. Of course, Russia's position in the international arena will decline.
In addition, the ruble has always been held at the expense of the oil and gas export. Now Europe and many other states are gradually abandoning these resources and switching to environmentally friendly energy-saving technologies. Therefore, oil, gasoline and gas will become cheaper, and the ruble will fall.

Of course, Ethereum is now in a better position than Polkadot. Ethereum is currently undergoing an upgrade and it is expected that this coin will completely transform and its price will be much higher than it is now.
However, Polkadot has a very interesting new technology and this token is very promising. I think that some of the funds can simply be invested in Polkadot.

Altcoins are only a few years old and have more than 8,300 types. Due to the fact that everyone can create their own altcoin, useless and fraudulent altcoins make up a decent amount of this number. However, in general, there is a good process of their development. You just need to choose the right potential altcoins and they are able to bring profit even more than bitcoin.
Altcoins are generally durable and worth investing in, only their useless types are short-lived.

Bitcoin existed without stablecoins and will exist even if they all disappear in an instant. Of course, stablecoins make it very easy to use cryptocurrencies, however, without them, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will not die. Bitcoin is not directly related to stablecoins, but if something happens to tether, then in the first period this should affect its price, since everything in our world is interconnected. However, I find it difficult to even say in which direction - an increase or decrease, while the price of bitcoin will change.

It is unlikely that cash will disappear in a hundred years. Even the Chinese government, which is already testing its digitized yuan, has warned the country's population that it is not worth abandoning the use of cash. Each type of money has its own advantages and disadvantages. Cash is sometimes simply irreplaceable both in certain situations and in relation to certain categories of citizens.
In addition, cash is not tracked and any type of non-cash centralized payments is fully tracked by the government.

Of course, over time, the number of bitcoins to which access is lost will only increase. People die or make various mistakes, as a result of which access to their bitcoins is lost. However, cryptocurrency and new technologies continue to evolve. Quantum computers are coming soon. They may be a salvation for bitcoins, to which access has been lost, but also a big threat to the rest of the cryptocurrency. Whether by that time protection against them will appear is still unknown.

The CoinMarketCap table shows that there are currently 8304 types of cryptocurrencies. Whether we like it or not, however, the number of cryptocurrencies will continue to grow as long as the conditions for this exist on the market. Since everyone can create their own cryptocurrency, some create it to embody innovative ideas, while others just to make money from it. We cannot influence this process. We can only support a certain cryptocurrency or not. If there is no demand for cryptocurrency, it will eventually disappear from the market. We cannot even say yet when and how this process of creating cryptocurrencies will end, but this is a good way to improve and develop it.

This is the opinion of individuals in Japan. However, I agree that over time, ripple will regain its position after the leaders of Ripple Labs pay off large penalties. Apparently, many people believe in a favorable outcome of the SEC lawsuit, since this coin no longer falls in price and even rose slightly in a relatively stable market.
In some countries, ripple is very popular as a means of payment. Some confidence in her is inspired by her support for the banking system, and she practically did not react to this legal scandal.

It is unlikely that these survey results reflect the real opinion of people. Now, few people know about the digitized currencies of the central banks of states. Those who know what it is could not so massively declare that it is not money. We all know that the digitized currencies of the central banks of states, that is, their stablecoins, are the same money of states, only on the blockchain in digital form. It is useless to deny it. People have not yet used them and do not know what it is. How can they reason about it. We need to make sure ourselves of the question posed and the answers to it.
